Letter: Could Putin have motivated Trump's Ukraine phone call?

With the rampant coverage of Donald Trump's phone call to Ukraine, we are missing an important possibility.

Trump admits that he called Ukraine. He admits that he threatened to withhold military help.

What isn't being considered is the possibility that the withholding of military help was at the demand of Vladimir Putin. Putin is a dictator whom Trump openly admires.

The Biden dirt story could be a smoke screen to hide the real reason for Trump's threat to Ukraine.

The Putin rational would be devastating for our nation. It would mean that our national policy is being dictated by Vladimir Putin. That would be the end of the United State's experiment in democracy.
